Wasn't sure which section to post this in but my question is;
With all the engine mods out there that I've seen, is there a reason I haven't seen anything about boring out to a bigger capacity engine (1.6 - 1.8 or even 2.0)? I used to own a Mark IV GTI VR6 and you could get a block out to 3.4 or even 3.6 if you pushed it. Just a random question.

Jan @ RMW has done 2.0 stroker motors for a while, there's just a lot involved, since you can get upwards of 275-300 whp with the right bolt on's and even more with stock bore & beefed up internals w/ those bolt ons, really makes the need for extra cubic/litres not ness., you start getting upwards of 300 whp in a Mini & not only is it a pretty wild ride, but you also start getting into the area of breaking driveline parts. Plus with different cylinder capacities and/or different compression ratios you also start getting into some interesting tuning issues with our ECU's.
